A solution in a dish contains 3.0 grams of salt dissolved in 100 grams of water. If 50 grams of the water evaporates, the solution is
A compound
A mixture
An element
A Solid
mixture
is that right
I thought it was a compound am I right
yes it is a mixture
To determine whether the solution is a compound, a mixture, an element, or a solid, we need to understand the definitions of these terms.
A compound is a substance formed by the chemical combination of two or more elements in a fixed ratio. It can be broken down into simpler substances by chemical means.
A mixture is a combination of two or more substances that can be physically separated. Mixtures can be homogeneous (uniform composition throughout) or heterogeneous (non-uniform composition).
An element is a substance that cannot be broken down into simpler substances by chemical means. It consists of only one type of atom.
A solid is one of the states of matter characterized by a fixed shape and volume. It is not a classification for solutions, but rather a physical state.
In this case, we have salt dissolved in water. Salt is a compound composed of sodium and chlorine atoms, while water is a molecule made up of hydrogen and oxygen atoms. When the salt dissolves in water, it forms a homogeneous mixture.
Since the salt dissolved in water is a mixture, the correct answer is:
A mixture
